Encyclopedie Methodique ou par Ordre de Matieres-The Encyclopédie méthodique par ordre des matières ("Methodical encyclopedia by order of subject matter") is a 206-volume encyclopedia that was published beginning in 1782 by the French publisher Charles Joseph Panckoucke, and his daughter, Thérèse-Charlotte Agasse. It was a revised and expanded version, arranged by subject matter, of the originally alphabetically-arranged Encyclopédie, compiled by Denis Diderot. The full title was L'Encyclopédie méthodique ou par ordre de matières par une société de gens de lettres, de savants et d'artistes; précédée d'un Vocabulaire universel, servant de Table pour tout l'Ouvrage, ornée des Portraits de MM. Diderot et d'Alembert, premiers Éditeurs de l'Encyclopédie. |
